Wahhab Denies Lebanese Suspect behind his Assassination Attempt
2012-07-25
[An Nahar] Tawhid Movement leader Wiam Wahhab denied on Tuesday that a Lebanese man was behind an alleged liquidation attempt against him.

"I will not accuse anyone until I make sure," Wahhab told al-Jadeed channel.

He warned that he will have a harsh stance once he knows who is behind the attempt on his life, pointing out that he is holding the suspect captive and will hand him over to the security agencies.

"He is not Lebanese and the person who recruited him belongs to a political party," Wahhad said.

Earlier on Tuesday, al-Akhbar quoted Wahhab as saying that the suspect is Lebanese and confessed that he had received a sum of money from a political party in Leb to assassinate him.

The Druze leader said that the suspect shot up his convoy in Syria so that "not to raise any suspicions" on the side that paid him if the liquidation happened in Leb.

Wahhab vowed to hand over all the information he has to the Lebanese security agencies soon, reiterating his trust in the judicial system.

He ruled out that al-Mustaqbal
... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri...
movement is behind the attempt on his life.

Security sources told the daily that Wahhab informed the competent authorities that the suspect is enjugged
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
, without revealing who is behind the arrest or where his location is.

The source quoted Wahhab as saying that the suspect confessed that a bigwig in the Progressive Socialist Party recruited him to assassinate the Tawhid leader and to carry out the operation in Syria to mislead the investigations.

However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
the source stressed that in case Wahhab's allegations are true, an endeavor like this happens without PSP leader MP Walid Wally Jumblat's
... Druze politician, head of the Progressive Socialist Party, who's been on every side in Leb at least four times. He'll sell you his friends for a dollar, but family comes higher because of shipping and handling...
knowledge.
